Mark and I are both big fans of Timothy Ferriss, author of The 4-Hour Workweek and The 4-Hour Body. Many things that Tim says about fitness, diet, work, and life-hacking have really resonated with me over the years. But beyond the subjects Tim writes about, it’s his approach to learning that truly inspires me whenever we see each other or I read his stuff. Like many people I know (including me), Tim is a novelty addict. He’s curious about most everything and when he wants to know something, or know how to do something — like cook, salsa dance, kick-box, speak Japanese, or hold your breath for crazy lengths of time — he seeks out the experts and immerses himself utterly and completely in the subject matter. That’s why I’m excited to read Tim’s new book The 4-Hour Chef, due out in a few weeks. I’m sure it has lots of great information about how to cook, but according to Tim it’s really a book about how to learn anything. That’s perfect because there’s a lot I’ve got to learn. Listen for Tim on a coming episode of our Gweek podcast. Congrats, Tim!
